Everyone Says I Love You
(1996)

EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU is an experiment in nostalgia that's more
magical than musty. An all-star cast of neurotic New Yorkers sing,
dance, and participate in production numbers. Unearthing such
treasured chestnuts as "I'm Done With Love" and "Just You, Just
Me," everyone gets to get into the act. That is, except for Drew
Barrymore, whose voice was dubbed. (For those keeping score at
home, Ms. Hawn appears the only trained singer. The rest are
warblers, but they can carry a tune without injuring themselves.)
And if the sight of Woody wooing Julia Roberts is expectedly
uncomfortable, the Nebbish One redeems himself at the end of the
movie. His final scenes with Hawn, who plays his ex-wife, are
simply sweet. Great score (and arrangements) by Dick Hyman, too.
